Nestled back from the street and under a thick canopy of trees in Swampscott is a home that looks like a million bucks, but isn’t.
The shingle-covered 1920s Colonial at 3 Beverly Road in Swampscott unfolds like a storybook, with copious indoor and outdoor space, on the market for $949,900. Between the manicured perennial gardens, decks for lounging and entertaining, and an impeccable interior, the home is a real find with expansion potential to boot.
You’ll find the freshest and most modern updates to the kitchen, upgraded with professional grade stainless steel appliances, an industrial vent hood, tall white cabinetry, and a beveled tile backsplash for texture and visual interest. An island with breakfast bar seating and storage is a great staging spot for family entertaining in the adjacent formal dining room or a laid back space for a quick bite.
The living room, a bright and open space, enjoys two notable features that offer up a twist on tradition. First, there’s a wet bar, but one that’s tucked away neatly behind a pair of bifold doors. Next, a dual-sided fireplace shares its warmth with a custom-designed room decked out with built-in cabinetry for use as a home office, family room, or library.
There’s no risk of running out of room. With more than 3,300 square feet, the home is generously proportioned. Sleeping quarters on the second floor include the home’s master suite — with double closets, built-in vanity, and en-suite bath. Three more bedrooms and a full bath share the second floor.
Not enough space? The walk-up attic presents a possibility to expand the square footage, as does the partially finished basement. And all that before you get to the magnificent outdoor space, nearly 0.4 acres of greenery.
And, while it’s not quite oceanside, the home is less than a 10-minute walk from Swampscott’s beloved Eisman’s Beach. Soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and a tot park are also nearby at Phillips Park.
